Help with plants. So I got 5 amazon swords plants and a bunch of frogbit. The amazon swords came with a little brown on them and so did the frogbit I believe. anyways, after looking at them for a little bit here, it looks like the amazon swords are suffering a little. now i have a tropical sun T8 light for my 10 gallon. the water is fine and treated. the frogbit should be fine, but the amazon swords I don't know about. should they be completely submersed in the water? I got them in a cup right now because this is going to be my spawning tank, and I will eventually put them in the substrate on the bottom. I figured that since the roots have water, the leaves should be fine right?

wow i didnt know that...i wish they would stay at this height they'd be perfect. i think they are my fishes favorite because he can almost disappear in the roots. if i cut them short, they will still grow if i dont cut out the roots right, just like regular plants?

Yes bettas love it when they have floating plants. I would suggest planting the amazons in the gravel and letting the leaves float along the top of the water then if you want more floating plants duckweed or brazilian pennywort are very nice and my bettas love it.Posted via Mobile Device
